      Pros

      There is a great sense of comradery within IT, cross team collaboration! Virtual first workplace, options for fully remote or hybrid positions. Fun events onsite on the second Tuesday of each month. Managers care about professional growth. Fun and caring CEO. Lots of growth opportunities if you are willing to fight for them

      Cons

      Lots of work to be done, infinite backlog

      Pros

      The pay is great, the people are better! I started at Sallie Mae in 2009 on the phones. If you are willing to work hard they are happy to promote and pay handsomely. Pay is very important to me, but being happy with what I do day in and day out is more important. You can find a purpose at Sallie Mae, one you can be proud of.

      Cons

      We are a smaller company, so if you are someone that likes to swim in your lane it can be difficult to do here. I'm constantly asked to help other groups out because of my skill set and coding abilities. For me this is no big deal, but I can see how some may find it annoying or unacceptable.
